rotary laser level

[mrbodge]

These things seem cheap yet I have read it is not worth using them unless they are auto-levelling as you will not be able to be accurate enough with the bullseye. Is this true? I've only experience the the bubble levels but these laser lines constantly visible could be very handy. Does anyone recommend tools either cheap or that maintain their value well?

I want them to level flooring.

I was also thinking of getting a laser level to check my plastering was level as I went. Is this a good idea and any tool recommendations?

i had 1 of these,i found once i had set it up all was ok until you spun the level round,then it was out.
i bought 1 of these from ebay,

and found it to be excellent,checked with 3 different stabila levels and a water level,how it fairs to a mega bucks self leveling 1 is another thing?.

I bought a self levelling laser lever. I thought it was a bit of an extravagance at the time, but I'm a sucker for gadgets.

It's the best thing I think I've ever bought, and I have no idea how I would cope without it now.

I've got this one:

i've got 2, both are very good and both weren't expensive around the £50 mark.

the dewalt is slightly dearer than the bosch equivilant (gll2-50 i think) doesnt come with a 3 year warranty and i gather cannot be re-calibrated

I got the cheap ass bull-eye version. However, I have damaged sight in 1 eye that is still able to decipher all the letters on an opticians test so lets seee if the bulls-eye can so it.
